Under contract, Leonardo will deliver an initial batch of five radars to Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) representatives. At which point, NAVAIR officials will then have the option to buy a larger quantity of the radars for use in real operations.

Officials explain, the two-panel version of the Osprey will provide a 240-degree field of view and a range of digital modes including weather detection, air-to-air targeting, and a ground moving target indicator (GMTI).
